Rumours spread this week suggest that Kingston-born actor, Tom Holland, has married fiancé and Euphoria star, Zendaya, in secret.

On the red carpet at the 2026 SAG Actor Awards on Sunday night (1 March), Zendaya's longtime image architect, Law Roach, suggested that the two had married, saying: "The wedding's already happened! You missed it".

And the couple, both 29, are no strangers to secrecy, as their engagement in January 2025 took some time to be confirmed.

Confirmation came from Holland's dad, Dominic Holland, an author and comic, who lives in Coombe Park."

But the pair feel "robbed" of their secrecy as a source close to the couple said: "From the very beginning, they were clear that if they ever did this, it would be on their terms.

"No red carpets, no glossy magazine spreads – just something deeply personal that reflected who they are when the cameras are gone. For them, marriage was about making a promise in front of the people who truly matter, not creating a global media moment.

"They've experienced how quickly private milestones can be turned into public property. That loss of control has weighed on them before, so this time they were determined to protect the occasion.

"It wasn't about secrecy for drama's sake – it was about safeguarding something sacred."

The insider added: "When they're in London, walking the dog, cooking at home or having dinner with parents and siblings, that's when you see the real them.

"They're most content in ordinary settings, surrounded by family and a tight circle of friends. That grounded, home-cantered life is what they value most, and their wedding reflected exactly that."

The Spiderman star has kept to his roots in south West London, residing in a £3m home in Richmond with Zendaya.

Away from premieres, the couple has embraced a low-key routine – shopping locally, walking their miniature schnauzer Noon through Richmond Park, and visiting Hampton Court Palace.

Holland's personal life has also shifted in other ways. After attempting Dry January in 2022, he realised he had, in his words, a "bit of an issue" with alcohol.

He extended his abstinence beyond February and March, remaining sober through his 26th birthday in June 2022 and beyond.

In October 2024, he launched Bero Brewing, a premium non-alcoholic beer brand offering Kingston Golden Pils, Edge Hill Hazy IPA, and Noon Wheat. Holland said the decision followed difficulty socializing without alcohol and a desire for better options.

He has described sobriety as "the best thing I've ever done" and has said his alcohol-free beer business is booming.

A source familiar with the couple's relationship told RADAR about why they have apparently tied the knot, saying: "Tom has always shown his love through actions rather than grand gestures.

"He's the first to roll up his sleeves at home – whether that's fixing a cupboard, putting up shelving, or making something from scratch.

"He has talked in the past about how Zendaya loved how he built wardrobes for her and fitted them so they looked like part of the wall.

"That's genuinely how he operates. He likes being useful. It's his way of caring and is part of his love language.

"It's his caring nature, respect for her privacy when it comes to discussing their relationship, and his commitment to sobriety that have all combined to reel her in."

The insider added: "Zendaya finds him incredibly grounding. In a world where everything can feel performative, having a partner who is happy doing DIY in sweatpants is refreshing. It created a sense of stability between them that goes far beyond red carpets."

Another source pointed to Holland's sobriety as a defining shift in their relationship.

They said: "When Tom decided to stop drinking in 2022, it wasn't a PR move.

"He realised he was relying on alcohol socially and wanted to challenge himself. Sticking with it changed his confidence and clarity. Zendaya saw how committed he was to improving himself, and that deepened the trust between them.

"Launching Bero was an extension of that journey. He wanted an option that allowed him – and others – to be present in social spaces without compromising their wellbeing. That discipline and self-awareness played a big role in how their relationship matured.

"It showed he was thinking long-term, about health, about partnership, about the kind of husband he wanted to be."

Another friend of the pair said: "Tom's consistency won over Zendaya. Making a movie together might have sparked it, but building cupboards, staying sober, and choosing a quieter life in Richmond – that's what sealed it. Zendaya values authenticity, and that's exactly what he gives her."
